Just last week, we asked readers: “Given everything that we know about unpaid internships, is this practice fair now? Was it ever? And who is excluded from the industry because of it?”

Guess we should now update the question: “And what of the intern-pays-to-be-an-intern-internship?” Per Ad Age: “Someone Bids $13,000 for Huffington Post Internship. Why Settle for Free Content When Journalists Will Pay You?”

Has America ever needed a media defender more than now? Help us by joining CJR today.
